One interesting note to read is that LSU’s Van Remsen plans to teach a course in the LSU Honors College based upon Christopher Haney’s book, “Woody’s Last Laugh.”

Many warned (for those who would listen) that the single greatest danger (...out of sooo many, like him being a Russian puppet for at least the last 3 decades) posed by Donald Trump’s 2016 election, would be his lasting effect on the Supreme Court and the nationwide judiciary more generally. Those toxic changes/influences will continue to come home to roost:

Such actions likely risk far greater impact/harm to the Ivory-billed Woodpecker and other endangered species, as well as wildlife and wild spaces more generally, than any de-listing decisions made by USFWS.
